I laughed so hard when Oliver came out on stage in drag as a showgirl. That one scene made the episode worth watching.

I do agree if Zantana was behind the whole thing, they should have given her at least one scene. When they meet the girl in the black hat at the night club, I thought she was going to be Zantana just using a different appearance so she could witness the mayhem without being recognized.

I watch the show and like it. The problem is the piss poor CW HD quality. Any movement or rapid scene changes cause the video to to blur into digital blocks. Really horrendous video quality compared to other network channels!

What is CW's problem?

Sounds like you have problems. I don't have that issue on the OTA channel in Philly.

It's because the Miami CW station has 2 subchannels which makes the main HD channel look like crap.

Only one sub-channel here, yet it pixellates more than any other OTA station. It (WTTV-DT) is actually broadcast by the FOX affiliate, so I'm not sure how that works exactly. Funny thing is, whatever is on previously can be fine (2.5 Men, Seinfield, ect.), But IF there's any trouble, it usually isn't until Smallville comes on. No problem with the audio though; it's still louder than loud.

I don't have any problems with CW Network presentations OTA in Houston either. Although I sometimes have a problem with watching it on AT&T Uverse. I have a minor problem OTA and more so with Uverse with locally generated (syndicated) shows. I think the local engineers don't have the recipe.

Supernatural also had a "throwaway", just for fun, episode this week and I thought their approach was much more entertaining.

I felt exactly the same.

In some ways Smallville seems like the opposite of a first season show on the bubble.

A new show that is trying to get ratings has people busting their butts trying to craft the best show they can in hopes of another season.

Smallville knows this is the swan song... and just doesn't seem to be bringing it every week... as if they know people will watch at this point no matter what, and even good ratings don't change that this is the final season.

IMO-This last show was an absolute waste of time and money. With so many venues that could be explored-I.E.-new powers for Clark, actually "out on the street" fighting crime, etc., what do they do? Show G.A. in drag and Clark with a hangover. What a travesty for one of the few shows left in the series in its last season. I've watched the series since episode one and was totally disgusted with this episode.

They need to bring back Lana and her green kryptonite-laced nanosuit. Since Connor seems to be into older women and Lana was married to Lex at one time, perhaps he would willingly put on a blue Kryptonite ring to be around her.
